In 1872, Ferdinand Demetz da Furdenan opened the first public training workshop for sculptors in Ortisei. The multi-storey building on the eastern edge of Ortisei was purchased by the local council in 1938 and the art school that had in the meantime moved out moved back in again. In 1999, a new construction was set up on the spot of the original Cademia building, which houses the art school today.

In 1796, the new parish church was completed on land belonging to Panahof. The end of 1799 saw the consecration of the high altar by the Lombardy altar builder Stampa, which was to be replaced by a neo-Romanesque altar by J. Schneider in 1870. Due to an increase in population, a transept was added after plans by J. Rifesser da Stufan, while the sculptural features come from Val Gardena artists.
